About The Position
As a Senior Electrical Engineer – High-Speed Optoelectronics Device at MKS, you will support the development of advanced optoelectronic products used in optical communication test systems. The successful candidate will contribute to the design and analysis of high-speed analog optoelectronic hardware, working closely with senior technical leaders and cross-functional engineering teams. This role is ideal for an engineer with experience in optical communications, high-speed electronics, or photonic systems who wants to expand their expertise across optics, electronics, and system-level design. The role includes hands-on design, simulation, characterization, debugging, and product development activities.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Physics.
- 8+ years of experience in electronics or device development.
- Experience designing and debugging high-speed electronic circuits.
- Experience with photodiodes, TIAs, optical receivers, RF components and analysis, or related optoelectronic components or systems.
- Experience with device and circuit simulation tools: Device physics (carrier transport, absorption, bandwidth, dark current), Optical simulation (waveguide coupling, absorption, mode overlap), RF/electrical simulation, Layout and GDS generation.
- Strong hands-on laboratory skills.
- Experience supporting products through development and release.
Nice To Haves
- Experience developing devices and electronics for high-speed optical communications or datacenter networking products.
- Experience working with 100G, 200G, 400G, or higher-speed optical communication systems.
- Familiarity with optical transceivers and receiver architectures.
- Experience with RF and microwave circuit design.
